“Cricket is not just a game. It’s a test of character, courage, and commitment. Play with passion, win with humility, and lose with grace”

It is a matter of immense pride and joy to announce that City Montessori School, Kanpur Road Campus will be hosting the 7^th International School Cricket League (ISCL) from 13^th to 19^th December, 2025 This grand sporting event will witness the participation of young, dynamic cricketers from around the world, joining us to celebrate the spirit of cricket, camaraderie, and international unity.

This tournament is not just a celebration of cricket—it is a celebration of youth, diversity, resilience, and global unity. In line with the CMS motto of “Jai Jagat” (Victory to the World), the International School Cricket League is rooted in our belief that education must nurture global citizens who are inspired to build a more peaceful, tolerant, and united world.

Every endeavour at CMS is dedicated to promoting universal brotherhood, peace, harmony, and unity. The ISCL-2025 embodies these profound values, aiming to instil courage, discipline, tolerance, cohesion, team spirit, empathy, resilience, self-esteem, prudence, self-restraint, and perseverance in our young participants.

Through this experience, we hope they will emerge as better human beings, equipped to face future challenges with determination, efficiency, and rationality.

ISCL is not merely a tournament — it is a unique platform that has given wings to many a cricketing dream. We are proud to share that our alumnus Yuvraj Singh made his debut in first-class cricket by representing Indian Railways in the Ranji Trophy Tournament, 2023. Similarly, another shining star of CMS, Vipul Krishna, brought laurels to the institution by representing the state of Bihar in the same prestigious tournament. Their achievements are a testament to the opportunities and nurturing environment that CMS provides to young talents.

At ISCL 2025, playing together, supporting one another, and embracing the spirit of fair play will help shape the students into stronger, kinder, and more capable human beings, ready to face the challenges of the future. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, such events carry immense significance. Sports, and cricket in particular, serve as powerful tools for uniting diverse communities and creating common ground.

I wish every team a successful and enriching experience.

May you carry home not only trophies but also unforgettable memories, friendships, and life lessons that will last a lifetime.
